Description: |
While From Publishers Weekly
opinions of Venezuelan president Hugo Chávez vary tremendously on a
global scale, there are few defenses of him available in the United
States. This biography by Bart Jones, a former AP correspondent from
Venezuela, attempts to level the ground. Without taking a political
stance, Jones provides a nuanced account of the Venezuelan leader's
life, creating a portrait that is, if not sympathetic, certainly more
balanced than previous ones. For example, when Chávez characterized
President Bush as the devil at the U.N. in 2006, most American news
sources presented it as a crude and clownlike gesture. According to
Jones, Chávez is hardly just a jester, but uses vulgarity to remind his
friends and his enemies of his humble beginnings, as well as to win a
tremendous amount of publicity. Jones's precise and entertaining account
moves smoothly through Chávez's beginnings up to his current position,
making Venezuelan history accessible. (Sept. 4)
